Purpose: This descriptive survey aimed at exploring nursing students' perception of two models of preceptorship: Model A requires intensive mentorship while Model B requires increasing students' independence and self directed learning.
Methods: Convenience sample of 110 nursing students were recruited for this study. Fifty seven who were in courses of adult I and adult II were engaged in Preceptorship Model A, while 53 who were in courses of maternity and pediatric nursing were engaged in Preceptorship model B. Moore's (2009) reliable "Preceptorship Evaluation Survey" was used for data collection. It consists of three dimensions: preceptor's performance, preceptorship support at the practice site, and preceptee satisfaction with the clinical training experience. t-test, independent samples, was used for data analysis.
Results: The findings showed that participants' mean scores on each dimension: preceptee satisfaction, program support, as well as preceptor's performance domains (teacher, facilitator, role model, provider of feedback, adept with adult learning, advocate, and socializer) were significantly (p < .05) in favor of Model A.
Conclusions: Participants perceived the preceptorship model which incorporates intensive mentoring as more satisfactory than the preceptorship model where increasing students' independence and self directed learning is required.

Interventions to enhance the core competencies of clinical nursing preceptors: a protocol for a systematic review.

Introduction: Clinical nursing preceptors (CNPs) teach nursing skills to students in real medical scenarios and develop their professionalism. The adequacy of CNPs' teaching competencies affects the effectiveness of student learning, so it is crucial to seek the best evidence for teaching competency interventions. This report describes a protocol for a systematic review to identify and analyse interventions to enhance the teaching competencies of CNPs.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a consensus model of required preceptor competencies to inform preceptor selection, development, support, and assessment.
Background: The preceptor role is complex and multifaceted, requiring knowledge and skills beyond the typical RN role; however, no nationally developed standards for preceptor competencies exist.
Methods: A mixed-method approach (national survey of preceptors, electronic Delphi, expert panel) was used to develop consensus on required preceptor competencies.
The Hybrid Instructor Preceptor Model is a novel, accelerated, evidence-based nursing orientation model. The Hybrid Instructor Preceptor Model uses instructor and preceptor phases, which standardize foundational content, approach skills acquisition, and increase clinical experiences for a new hire. A pediatric acute cardiac care unit successfully onboarded 30 nurses in 10 months using the Hybrid model.

Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina. Electronic address:
Introduction: As undergraduate medical education becomes increasingly longitudinal, particular attention is needed to maintain sufficient exposure to surgical disciplines. While traditional medical student clerkships are isolated 4 to 8-wk blocks on a single service, one unique adjunct to the traditional clerkship model is the continuity clinic (CC): a weekly longitudinal requirement that occurs either during the traditional clerkship or following clerkships while conducting independent research. This study compares attending surgeon and medical student perceptions of important characteristics in evaluating a student in CC and the perceived utility of this experience in assessment and preparation for subinternships.
